[Using Sakai] Assignment URLs in a lessons page?

[Trisha Gordon]

All,

Our Sakai developer team at UVa (University of Virginia) has contributed 
patches to the Sakai community for using the Resources Browser in 
Sakai's CKeditor to link to Assignments, Forums, and Tests & Quizzes (in 
addition to Resources). We also contributed patches to handle the link 
migration from one site to another. These can all be found in 
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-22283.

I believe these contributions are slated for the Sakai 10 release.

If you have questions, please let us know.
